Not a bad update. Would have liked a Dead Space demo or something. But the Desert Glory flythrough was good enough for me.

By the way, it's "Florida State University" premium theme. Not Florida University.

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 9th 2008 9:21PM

I already got 100 % trophies on linger in shadows.

I'm so happy.

finalstar @ Oct 9th 2008 9:59PM

what kind of games Linger In Shadows is ?

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 9th 2008 11:15PM

first of all it is not a game it is a 6:50 movie thing that has a free mode picture mode and like you can mess around with the environment a little.

fiziks @ Oct 10th 2008 2:33AM

plus if you press both sticks at the main menu it'll unlock an option to play a hella cool song

tuaamin13 @ Oct 10th 2008 7:14AM

How the hell do you get all the trophies? I played through once and unlocked 6 (all the Sigil of XYZ) but all those shout outs idk, though then again I was trying to do my hw at the same time.

deusmecha @ Oct 9th 2008 9:23PM

So. The Valkyria Chronicles demo is absolutely free in the EU PSN, but you have to download Qore to get it on the US PSN.

Fantastic.

Wayne @ Oct 9th 2008 9:40PM

whoops...

lobotomies4free @ Oct 10th 2008 12:05AM

that's cause they don't have Qore yet

Eggy @ Oct 10th 2008 8:40AM

Just create an EU account. Whinging about a non issue is dumb.

Dexter @ Oct 10th 2008 4:20PM

I already have an EU account.

The issue at hand is the fact that in the US, you have to pay for a demo. Where it's free in another region. It doesn't add up.

klassakt @ Oct 9th 2008 9:26PM

anyone know if puzzle quest has trophies?

Kotaghul @ Oct 9th 2008 11:43PM

no trophies but the game is great

Just @ Oct 9th 2008 9:27PM

I mean not to wine, but I think the last entry in playable content should read

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Cars demo

FrodoTBaggins @ Oct 9th 2008 9:55PM

Don't you mean Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battlecars Demo?

Indef @ Oct 9th 2008 9:29PM

Awww...no Valkyria demo for the states?

ChocoDK @ Oct 9th 2008 9:40PM

Oh but there is if you would love to pay Sony $2.99 for Episode 5 of Qore to play the "EXCLUSIVE" demo /sarcasm

If you want to play it for free the way it SHOULD'VE been then download it via the European PSN Store.

Game_playa @ Oct 9th 2008 9:34PM

Just make a European Account( Yes it's 'a' not 'an')

AR @ Oct 9th 2008 9:40PM

So what's the FIFA '09 DLC?

Stranger @ Oct 9th 2008 10:06PM

Those are the leagues that are included in Adidas Live Season.

Adidas Live Season is a service you can buy (although you can pick one for free when you get the game) that tracks each leagues players in their weekly "real-life" leagues, and updates their stats accordingly.

So, if you choose to purchase the Barclays Premier League Live Season, then if say... Dimitar Berbatov scores 4 goals for Man U this week, his stats in the game will be bumped up, but if he has a rubbish match, his stats will be dropped down. They change every week.

Lord_von_Punx @ Oct 9th 2008 9:40PM

nice.. i guess it took you guys a while because of all the
content

Desi_D @ Oct 9th 2008 9:42PM

I thought Linger In Shadows was supposed to be free. I wasn't interested in it or anything, just saying.

Kspraydad @ Oct 9th 2008 9:44PM

I don't recall SONY ever saying that...only that pricing was up in the air or to be decided or some such.

I'll pay the $2.99 in the hopes that the DEMOSCENE makers get a good chunk of that (or were they paid up front by SONY?)

bRANDON. @ Oct 9th 2008 9:44PM

Fix your keyboard.

j.howlett @ Oct 9th 2008 9:45PM

did i miss dead space releasing, why are they already selling armor? i'm really tempted by linger in shadows.

Raptortim @ Oct 9th 2008 10:03PM

Demo wise, update is pretty lame. Wait, Warhawk?! Awesome Update!

PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Oct 9th 2008 10:24PM

I've had Burnout Paradise and Warhawk for a week now and I haven't even opened the shrink case. In fact, it's just there sitting on top of my desk. I'm still obsessed with MGS4 'cause it's that good of a game and I seriously think I can't play any game with so much satisfaction even on my fourth playthrough other than MGS4. I've also played Bad Company and Ratchet and Clank Future: TOD for the first time this week and I hardly played for 15 minutes.

I have MGS4 Syndrome. :(

Skyflur @ Oct 9th 2008 11:36PM

... What made MGS4 so good was the story, gameplay was good as well but there wasnt enough of it play that much... guess its like the people that watch a movie more than 2 times =p.

Shader @ Oct 10th 2008 4:28AM

@ Skyflur, stop trolling, there was plenty of gameplay in MGS4, and its probably the most re-playable game I've ever played - completed it 4 times.

gadjet @ Oct 9th 2008 10:06PM

I totally dug Linger in Shadows, it's just an interactive short movie, but I loved it. And I'm more than happy to support them by forking over $3.00 for it.

DeathroW @ Oct 9th 2008 10:15PM

Only thing i got from linger in shadows was a big fat

W T F ?

PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Oct 9th 2008 11:54PM

...and an even bigger WTF!

Popfrogs @ Oct 10th 2008 9:36AM

It was interactive art. Most people these days wouldn't know art if it gave them a mushroom stamp.

Jay. @ Oct 9th 2008 10:40PM

Is the (ew) after paid themes intentional or just a funny accident?

Tim Parsons @ Oct 9th 2008 10:57PM

I'll be getting Linger in Shadows and that other Deadspace suit soon as I have cash, already got the free one just waiting on the game to install it, Great to see SONY put it up so it'll be ready for us when we get the game next week

anyone else beat those 3 Qore games to unlock the vid of Veronica getting her Zombie make-up done? i dunno how well you gotta do to beat either but i FAILED all 3 oh well lol

Tim Parsons @ Oct 9th 2008 11:20PM

nevermind did it,. just as boring as i thought it would be lol

Nitsua78 @ Oct 9th 2008 11:07PM

Anybody know what happened to Soldner-X? I was really looking forward to some side-scrolling shooter action.

freeblue @ Oct 9th 2008 11:48PM

anyone tried the paid themes? how are they? any different between those and normal themes? like animated background? animated icons??

shagee @ Oct 9th 2008 11:53PM

I got the UofM one. It seems pretty much like every other theme. Nothing out of the ordinary.

fiziks @ Oct 10th 2008 2:30AM

I wish they were animated, I would have bought one

Alfamale @ Oct 10th 2008 12:20AM

i'm suprised this hasn't been mentioned yet but the new episode of Qore is commercial free.

Tim Parsons @ Oct 10th 2008 12:48AM

it still got commercials but now they are in the form of game trailers nothing else

DrunkRaba @ Oct 10th 2008 12:39AM

Loved the fly through of Desert Glory, man what a change! And enjoying the crap out of Puzzle Quest.

The g/f loved the LBP videos so keep it all comin!

halo 3 sucks. @ Oct 10th 2008 12:49AM

why cant i comment!!111

Snutz @ Oct 10th 2008 12:49AM

Hahaha, the best part about the ridiculous paid themes is that the beach sampler and summer down under ones are just the default icons with hot girls as the backgrounds. If you can't figure out how to do that yourself then you deserve to lose the $2.

Remix @ Oct 10th 2008 1:40AM

I just got an email stating that when you buy Pixel Junk Eden that u get Pixel Junk Monsters Encore for free. I was waitin 2 pick up both of those and now I have NO excuse. Great deal

mercurywa @ Oct 10th 2008 12:45PM

This is what annoys me. I already bought Eden, so no free soundtrack or Monsters Encore for me. I already got SSD and the multi-player pack, and now it too is bundled with single player.

Lesson learned. Don't buy anything on PSN until it's eventually bundled.
